"The aim of this surge will be to inflict severe damage upon the problem-making elements inside Iraq..."

Couple that with the blatant tone of the headline, and I wish I could place a bet with the writer. The monumental mistakes we have made there assures that Iraq will unfortunately remain in chaos for many years to come regardless if we stay and go. Sending more troops will only result in a larger loss of life for our brave troops.

There's no win for anyone in this mess except for the pockets of the defense contractors.
